      • Jul 05, 2014

        An interesting take on relationship drama, pitting two "survivors" in the ring of romance, both of which are left behind by a spouse that opted to cheat on their partners, incidentally, the two broken hearts manage to find each other within the remains of their shattered relationships and bring all the tension, anger and doubts along with them. The film has a few too many subplots in my opinion, Dutch's job as IA inspector, Chandler's political campaign etc., I would have preferred more focus on the relationship side of things, deeper conversations regarding the issue of loving someone you would actually love to hate and dealing with loss and grief. The performances are great, Ford's stoic style of acting fits with the character and Thomas is as enchantingly beautiful as ever. Pollack's direction is a no frills approach and leaves the script and actors to do their work with a touch of 1990s Americana thrown in. All in all, a pondering tale, that makes up in being daring and different what it lacks in finesse and verve.

        This movie has its pros and cons. Pros: Good acting - idea has lots of possibilities - not often we get this sort of combination of mystery and romance - I liked the vague ending. Cons: too long or drawn out.

        Dull and emotionless. A few well written scenes give a hint to what could have been an intriguing film. Ford and Scott Thomas work well separately and together but the overall film is simply frustrating. A number of sub plots seem more interesting than the main one handed to us which again left me with a feeling of incompleteness.

        Pretty slick romantic movie set in Washington DC, the life of a detective falling in love.
